As 2022 heads for the history books, it is time to look ahead with one New Year's resolution for every F1 team.
One New Year’s resolution for each F1 team ahead of 2023 seasonThe beginning of a new year brings an opportunity to start afresh and put right the mistakes of the previous 12 months. That applies to the F1 teams, who often stress the need to improve from season to season.
With car liveries at the very heart of a team’s corporate identity, are certain things better left alone in the endless chase for performance?Not long after Pierre Gasly’s move to Alpine was announced came the inevitable question: just who will lead AlphaTauri in 2023? And with suspicions that Red Bull Powertrains may go it alone for the 2026 engine regulations, the case to retain Tsunoda to keep Honda sweet may soon no longer apply.
In elite sport the technical differences between the best are so very fine that psychological and emotional factors can be key.Aston Martin: Commit to a single car concept And that, in addition to their immense wherewithal, the signing of Fernando Alonso and the fact many of their impressive technical hires have had time to settle in, potentially makes the team quite a dangerous prospect for 2023.and this time, rather than splitting resources, all their energies can be spent on building the best car they can.Now Sauber have won the lottery, there is a convincing argument that they should simply sit on their winnings and write off the next three years.
Although the upgrades kept coming until Austin, both drivers and head of trackside engineering Xevi PujolarMaybe, with the first drips of Audi investment coming through, the team can now be more agile in the development race.Ultimately, Daniel Ricciardo only had himself to blame for his failed stint at McLaren, but the team’s inability to haul him out of his struggles did not reflect particularly well on them either.
In Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the team will have two of the most exciting talents to have entered F1 in a generation in 2023 and the peculiarities of the McLaren way may come as a shock to the new recruit. A combined total of eight mid-race stoppages for Alonso and Esteban Ocon in 2022 – as well as costly failures for the former in Australia and Austria – made Alpine’s fight for fourth against McLaren far more anxious than it ought to have been.
Yet it came to symbolise Mercedes’ hesitance to seize the day when they were thought to have a genuine shot of beating Red Bull. Operational aptitude should really be the foundation of any respectable racing team. Even when Williams had nothing else, for instance, Pat Symonds made it his mission for the team to have the fastest stops of all.
